Lenten Mission 2018

As part of our Lenten Mission, today we welcome Wendy Jager, from Interfaith Rise. Interfaith Refugee and Immigrant Services and Empowerment (Interfaith-RISE) is an official affiliate site of the US Committee for Refugees & Immigrants. They are committed to resettling refugees in central NJ, by assisting with housing, ESL, social services, education, medical assistance, mental health services, transportation, and supportive community integration as families and individuals journey towards self-sufficiency and independence.

During worship, Wendy will share how she began serving refugees. During coffee hour, Wendy will present on the global refugee crisis. Join us after the service for the time of learning and fellowship.

Queens Discipleship Retreat

March 17, 9:30am-2:00pm, Gessner Hall

Being with God and each other strengthens our faith and helps us live it out. But we get so focused on finishing our to-do lists that sometimes we don’t leave enough space in our lives for those relationships. If you can relate, you're invited to set aside space for God and one another by participating in a discipleship retreat next month. Join with other RCA churches in Queens to:

Explore current models of discipleship

Grow your capacity to participate in God's work both personally and as a community

"Soon and Very Soon" is the last in the choir series of gospel songs and spirituals in recognition of Black History Month.It is a contemporary gospel song written by the late Andrae Crouch, a prolific composer and performer, often referred to as the "father of modern gospel music." It was inspired by the Scripture passage "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Revelation 21:4
